Why let me educate you sir. Trust me I felt the same way as you in the past but not anymore. I have read on Hogshaven that
Kyle Shanahan has already stated that if Hightower re-signs then the Redskins will actively seek out a fourth running back to the group.

We have a power runner in Hightower
A do it all in Helu
A change of Pace in Royster
In LaMichael James we will be the gamechanger

He is not to be used as a traditional runningback. You can line him up and use him at multiple positions like a Percy Harvin, Darren Sproles, or Reggie Bush. James can be put in the slot. He would often be on the field at the same time as our other runningbacks. Defenses have to account for a player of his skillset and caliber. Making it easier for other player to get one- on- one matchups and open.

Special teams- Goodbye Banks, Hello James. This guy has breakout speed and is dangerous in open space.

I think we have the rookie wideouts needed our roster now, they just need to be coached up and seasoned. You could maybe add Eddie Royal to replace Moss and a big target like Bowe, Colston, or Jackson. However Hankerson can be that big target. Let's not mention our tighends in this equation. I think if your looking at James as a tradional back then you might be a tad shortsided in your thinking. If you see him a utility player than you can see the potiental

Not gonna happen. Shanny's calling card is getting production from anyone he puts in the backfield. They have several needs. RB isn't one of them. Maybe later in the draft.

I definitely see them drafting a running back this year. I mean at the very least Ryan Torains unexplained drop has to be fresh in their minds and when they're not yelling at Helu and Royster to get better in the weight room they'll be scouting RB's With that said I doubt they would take LaMicahel James in the 2nd.

On top of that why would we want to short change ourselves on a decade worth of pro-bowl level QB play because we were determined to get a 2nd round RB?

Be willing to pay the price. I mean don't give them 3 first round picks, but be willing to part with next years first round corner, Guard, or whatever that first round pick would turn out to be.

RGIII is a legitimate first overall talent, just so happens that he's in the same draft with a once in a generation prospect. He is the real deal, unmatched athletic ability, rocket arm, pinpoint accuracy, and a mind thats more impressive then all of that.

And as a lot of you are aware of things don't start happening until you start to get real production out of the QB position.

Anway heres how I see it, we can trade back and pick a bunch of nice pieces, draft a project like Tannehill, and risk our coach being fired provided he eeks out a .500 season. Or we could draft RGIII, give him an offensive mastermind like the Shanahans and still have a QB prospect that can excel under any coach in the league should the Shanahan experiment prove to be a failure in the near future. In other words there would be hope should we have to start over.

To me thats much better then seeing Shanahan get fired next year or the year after and being stuck with Tannehill.

I could not agree with this post more!!! Get it done.

I agree I think RG3 can start for us day one like Dalton and cam did this year and have an immediate impact. Heard GB wasn't going to franchise flynn but apparently Seattle and Cleveland are heavy suitors for him. Either way No QB equals another losing season and mike wont last another 5 win year, and he shouldn't if that's the case.

Sign Matt Flynn and draft Kellan Moore in the 2nd Pick up an OL with the 6th pick, and sign 2 of the 3 receivers V. Jackson/Desean/Bowe and we're suprebowl bound. If the Giants can make it this far then so can we! We're just a QB and a stud WR away.

If we draft a RB in this upcoming draft, I will drive to Redskins park and slap the shit of of Mike Shanahan myself. You think his skin is red now, wait till my five fingers meets his face.

Ha Ha, you won't even have to drive I'll pick u up myself all expenses paid.

I love how we're talking about using high draft picks on running backs when we have Mike Shanahan and two completely capable young backs here. Smart. I would do that if running back was the only hole on the team. But it's not. In fact, on offense alone, I would rank quarterback, wide receiver, starting right tackle, and backup offensive linemen a bigger need than running back. And if I threw in defense as well, I'd make starting cornerback and free safety a bigger need too. In short, if we had 7 picks in this upcoming draft, I'd use 6 of them on other needs before I even thought about drafting a running back.

I have the feeling that the RG3 will be a Redskin. We already know that the Colts will draft Luck and the Rams and Vikings have Bradford and Ponder so both Minnesota and St. Louis will be drafting at other positions. RG3 could easily fall to #6 where the Redskins pick if Cleveland takes Trent Richardson of Alabama and The Bucs take Claiborne from LSU.

[VTSkins1961]

I would sign Flynn or a free agent and stand pat with the draft pick or trade back if RG3 is gone. Don't morgage the farm for 1 player.

You are basically correct. But we have wasted picks on far less. If we can get Luck by trading the farm we should do it. We can upgrade elsewhere slowly thru free agency and next years draft we can trade down some and get many good players to rebuild. If we can get Luck then it should be done.

Isn't it funny how the year started off with so many choices at QB and possibilities,and now it has shrunk to just RGIII or free agency?
